A bank in a small town is concerned with the perception of its
employees by customers and others in the community. Branch managers are
responsible for both the running of the branches and building community
relationships. The bank decides that it needs to determine if certain personal
habits are creating a negative perception towards customers. The bank decides
to monitor its branch manager’s off-duty activities in order to determine if this
is creating concerns for the bank. Is the bank legally permitted to carry
through this action? Does this constitute an invasion of privacy?

Retaliation has been the number one filed EEOC complaint now since
2010, surpassing racial and sexual harassment and discrimination for the first
time then, and since then. Often, disciplinary actions result in EEOC filings.
Discipline is an area of Human Resources that can certainly create
the potential for legal liability for employers. What are some good guidelines
to follow? What are some pitfalls to avoid? How might valid policies be
structured and investigations be handled to ensure that retaliation complaints
do not result from disciplinary actions?
